The anticipated heavyweight clash between Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois is set for 12 rounds this Saturday, although it’s unlikely to last that long.

Nearly 90% of the fighters’ total 54 bouts have ended in knockouts, which includes instances where both have been knocked out themselves.

There’s a lot on the line for both boxers.

Joshua (28 wins, 3 losses, with 25 KOs) and Dubois (21 wins, 2 losses, with 20 KOs) will compete for Dubois’ IBF heavyweight title and potentially a chance to face the winner of the upcoming fight between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury on December 21.

After suffering back-to-back losses to Usyk in 2022, many had written Joshua off. However, he has since come back with four consecutive wins, though the quality of his opponents has been questioned.

In his latest match, Joshua—who has held the heavyweight championship twice—defeated Francis Ngannou, a former UFC champion making only his second boxing appearance. Dubois, on the other hand, was stopped by Usyk in 2023 but has bounced back with two knockout wins against Jarrell Miller and Filip Hrgovic.
